Well dad has security cameras, so I'm not surprised.

@Legend

Mhm. And who'd be watching them while everything is falling apart? If anyone is at all, I'd bet it's not someone who likes us so much.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Wait, really? What are the others?

@Legend

*Takes my suspecting eyes off the walls and back to the path ahead*
Maybe we're not being followed, but we might be being watched either way, for one.

*No living bodies are detectable around us, but in the distance, more scientists continue to buzz away from the depths of the lab, but they avoid the cold of the arctic*
You mean not revealing too much info to the fake?

@Legend

*Sighs and just repeats myself*
More than one other reason.

You... maybe don't sound super ultra confident?

@Legend

*Silently does an explicit check for any nearby heat signatures that could indicate someone's presence, who isn't moving away from us*
I don't think we're being followed directly, but I've got more than one other thing to be cautious about before I just go spitting out everything I know without a care right now. You know?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Are you able to use your powers to tell whether we're being followed? I have a bad feeling.

@Legend

I could notice it. I-
*Pauses and stares at the walls as we move*
Nothing has been standing out to me recently.

I never even knew most of these department existed. And I lived here.

*Wrinkles my nose at that last comment*
Hey. S-shut up.

@Legend

*Tilts my head slightly in your direction, clearly having heard but not acknowledging the exchange*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I'm not sure any of this counts as a direct path...

@Host

I mean, I have no idea whether that's true or not even remotely.

*hands Vi the badge*
We have a few departments to go, beats going around to the zoological department.

@Extra

If it helps us stay on the most direct path, then I agree.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Agreed. Let's skip it and keep moving.

@Legend

*Nods firmly*

I don't believe he would invest experimentation time into replicating any kind of tea other than his mom's.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*raises an eyebrow and point*
Exactly my point.

@Extra

Regardless of how forthcoming anyone is or isn’t being right now, we’re all standing on what seems like an exploding planet. Same side, yeah? And not enough time to discuss the reality of any tea research.

Aaaggghh!

@Host

*Pulls myself through on the other side*
Phew!!

@Legend

*Sighs, relaxing my shoulders and standing up*
